The best metal video ever. The guitar player's face, the singer screaming at his own face, the singer deploying his dragon wings, the bass player looking dead and the knight scene at the end. And once again, the guitar player's face.
Haha it definitely rivals immortal for pure shlock, it's great, that face is Abbath status for sure. Don't forget that sick ass bend crazy solo. The rival element faces too hahah Even after a decade I still dig this song, I think the quasi-Lemmy chorus helped non-metalheads ingratiate a little better and got them big But it's basically only bands like Amon Amarth that went full Dethklok and got massive based purely on how kickass they are without turning into radio friendly rock BS
The whole album was recorded live in the studio and you can definitely hear that. Sounds so raw and intense, but they are still good enough musicians to make it sound clear. Epic song.
The complete lyrics of this song: My name is equal to that of destruction My kingdom is built on (The ruins of) holy demise The gods are brought down By the hand of a mortal My name will spawn legends I ascend to the skies Through time and space We travel dimensions for eternity We walk the path of the ancients And leave mortality Cosmic ascendant, rise to the stars and give us the powers we crave I carry the ring of ancient might the symbol of the beast and your blood I reap the world on reptilian wings and never look back Forever shall I be remembered as the ruler of the gods Enjoy!
I can´t play guitar too, that´s why I find this spectacular too! Are you only allowed to have an oppinnion if you actually play the instrument? I don´t think so, greetings!
met the band today at worcster palladium, some of the nicest people ive ever met, also managed to get free tickets for life to any of their concerts just because my dad bought thebon a beer, also they are planning i tour around november with mayhem
Easily one of their best! So many people here clearly not getting how good this is ;) Ah well .. its all taste - have a beer and fire up KoK, LOUD!! /m/
This video has it all: A.O. Gronbech enjoying the heck out of his craft, and his light fingers, Wizziac and his feather-like hair blowing into his bass, Thebon in a blowing fan, Vyl just a'drumming, and general Melodic Black Metal madness.
I thought Immortal were the only one using funny video clips. You know, this kind of video clip where you don't know if the musicians really try to look seriously evil or parodic. Keep of Kalessin, I hope you didn't pay any graphic designer for this. Apart for trolling, music was not my kind, especially vocals, but it's kind of original and well done in the style.
To say Obsidian C's chord and riff games are underrated is an understatement. There are videos on youtube where he's playing whole songs for a buddy of his, I recommend EVERYONE who hasn't seen them to check them out, the shit is properly nuts, his right hand is otherworldly, e.g., watch?v=hPmlguGFA9w
Epic song.. LOVE the video clip.. the bat wings coming out of his back during the crescendo was mint.. Drummers smashing out 230bpm bomb blasts, and the singers taking all the cred with his bat wings on..
I saw these guys back in November opening for Mayhem. I was fucking drunk. All the bar had was Pabst blue ribbon beer. Great Show! These guys are good. Mayhem was amazing!
Glad ya caught KoK. I missed them 🤬 Caught Mayhem though. Saw Kalessin open up for Sepultura though, and they HAILED. 🤘🤩🤘 Sepultura kicked it old school bad ass as well.
Wow. I remember stumbling across this a long time ago (probably when it was released) and I thought it was awful. That's because I was a young lad and had yet to explore other forms of metal. I now appreciate it alot more and shall explore deeper on Spotify. Thank you and goodnight.
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time... "My name is equal to that of destruction" says a guy in eyeshadow doing Cookie Monster vocals...

Cool video. The knight fight I found a bit unnecessary, and was a bit dark and hard ta see, but Awesome video all together. 🤘
Lol
No, it's cringy af.
@@siegheilyolo that's where's the gold at.

Epic song.
This is the most perfect use of blast beats I think I have ever heard,
They're spot on of course. Vyl the drummer, Such a Talented drummer. 🤘
1349 (frost) do the same.
Keep of Kalessin is definitely a band that proves that talent still exists in this dying world.
got to admit, the more you see and hear this song the better it gets....
Ages in Excellence as a fine wine. 😏👉 🍾🍷HAILS!🤘 This was the first song I heard from them, 10 years ago infact. They had me as a fan at that.
KEEP OF KALESSIN....because you're worth it.
Glory-eál
The complete lyrics of this song:
My name is equal to that of destruction
My kingdom is built on
(The ruins of) holy demise
The gods are brought down
By the hand of a mortal
My name will spawn legends
I ascend to the skies
Through time and space
We travel dimensions for eternity
We walk the path of the ancients
And leave mortality
Cosmic ascendant, rise to the stars
and give us the powers we crave
I carry the ring of ancient might
the symbol of the beast and your blood
I reap the world on reptilian wings
and never look back
Forever shall I be remembered
as the ruler of the gods
Enjoy!
powerful lyrics!!!!
Thanks I've been looking for these everywhere!
@@MTExtremo they are not easy to find, so I wrote to the band's facebook and Obsidian handed me the lyrics :D
Thank you!
Heroe
That solo... leaves me speechless
+Cobra Commander , dude you probablt cant even play guitar. dont even say what is complex or not, you probably have no fucking idea whatsoever
I can´t play guitar too, that´s why I find this spectacular too! Are you only allowed to have an oppinnion if you actually play the instrument? I don´t think so, greetings!
These guys make me proud to be Norwegia!!
Metal will live forever!!!!!
still in love with this track and this band. man, that bending at 02:40 is GEORGEOUS!
Always
I totally forgot about this band, they have some gems forsure. Even after 10+ years, still phenomenal.
It really inspired me to learn how to play stuff like this at the time, still love it. And i got good at shredding in the past 12 years.
What his name, The Guitarrist?
@@edersonluizsouzacosta1652 Obsidian c.
That part at 2:56 has some of the tastiest fuzz riffing I've ever had the pleasure of hearing!
THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO IN THE WORLD, NO, UNIVERSE, NO ALL OF EXISTENCE, EVER. Yes.
It's up there 😏
@@beaubrotzman3141 Would you like to do on a date with me and you?
3:58 This is obsidian C in a nutshell, brilliant riffing. a musical genius in black metal. thanks
But the best work is on the Traveler EP IMO
One of the few musically interesting black metal bands I can think of. Love this stuff.
This is Melodic Death metal.
met the band today at worcster palladium, some of the nicest people ive ever met, also managed to get free tickets for life to any of their concerts just because my dad bought thebon a beer, also they are planning i tour around november with mayhem
Caught it. Friggin missed KoK 🤬
Easily one of their best! So many people here clearly not getting how good this is ;) Ah well .. its all taste - have a beer and fire up KoK, LOUD!! /m/
black metal with power metal shenanigans :)
This video has it all: A.O. Gronbech enjoying the heck out of his craft, and his light fingers, Wizziac and his feather-like hair blowing into his bass, Thebon in a blowing fan, Vyl just a'drumming, and general Melodic Black Metal madness.
Blondie on the bass reminds me of Skwisgaar from Metalocalypse.
You mean Skwisgaar from from Dethklok? :) Actually is William Murderface who plays the bass! I guess you know that right?
Yeah I know that :)
He's also received Legolas from Lord of the Rings.

untopable. a masterpiece
Saw these guys last week with Belphegor, Neuraxis, and Hate. They were fucking awesome, best show I've ever seen.
No Sepultura? I caught that tour. Friggin Awesome.🤘🤘
awesome song and awesome band!!
That solo is like an ad for ESP Ltd. M-1000 :D
great song :)
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Very bad ass song and video. I actually consider this one of my favorite songs.
Best metal song I can't stop watching it if you came to AMERICA GOT TALENT and I was the judge you could get golden buzzer
I would listen to this song on my CD player as I rode my epic dragon across the land, if I had a CD player.
Truly. Their whole album. Their follow up album Reptilian as well. Some DragonForce of course.🐉 You could pack an MP3 player. No music skipping then.
@@beaubrotzman3141 when this was released i had an old cd walkman, mp3 players were like 100 bucks for 512mb at the time.
Proud of being a norwegian when watching this ! both thumbs up from me :)
THIS SONG ROCKS!!! NORWAY
One does not simply look evil in front of a hair blower.
hahahahaha good metal point mAn!
Dude check out all Morbid Angel shows with David Vincent
Have some panache, m8. It's only silly if you decide it is so.
The devil´s hair blower, please......
OMG i died!!! Roflol
Air cymbal at 1:34
hahahah
a funny miss*
if u check the makng of, theres not even a drum kit there , lul
Chroma keying the cymbals is a bitch. And stands as well. They act like mirrors
@blackrobeproductions I'm going to see them for the first time this Saturday night and I can't wait!
immortal and abbath influences?

this is very accurate!!! (y)
Analise perfeita.(perfect analysis)
Hahahaha Rick you know nothing.
+sebdoom It's just because you can't understand the evil behind some human. Hummanity needs you....
+sebdoom Yeah, their music reminds me a lot of Immortal's.
For years i watch people criticising badly this magnificent tune and video clip. Even today I enjoy this song and it's part of my metal playlists!
True Dat
I totally dig it. Band, albums, performance and all. 🤘🥃
the vocalist sounds similar to lemmy from motorhead
Yesssss, i thought only I noticed this
Can't unhear it
This is totally hilarious, and I'm trying to figure out whether it was intentional or not. Are these guys the Steel Panther of black metal?
I've seen way more ridiculous Metal vidoes than this one :p
That's really some funny shit haha. Did they really thought "Hey, that came out pretty awesome!" in the end lol?
I think they crawled out of cave just to shoot the music video and then crept back to the depths
Christhjian at least the music came out great in the end :P
Yeah, we can give them that :D
Keep Of Kalessin is one of my favorite bands, and they are from my country!!!
Skoll 🥃
Lemmy?
Yes!
Can't unhear it
Why so many dislikes? This song is awesome and the music video is satisfyingly shit.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I like both the song and the video. Seriously, most metal music videos are really crappy, but this one and videos of band Tool are great.
The Video has so many faults and mistakes if you look closely. It is cringy.
Listening to it nowadays sounds nostalgic and still great.
Is this a hair conditioner commercial?
Perhaps it could be.
Epic music but lmao at their facial expressions. Haha!
April Louise
Hilarious facial expressions? I remembered something haha
/watch?v=ylTmVkmsuws (they´re great btw)
I love the guitar solo... real passion from that strings
Decent song, cringe-worthy video.
Have you seen any The Kovenant clips? Good band, good songs, beyond crap music videos...
who the hell cares about the video
I dig it.
Their drummer is disgustingly good
360 p is shit!!!
12.06.2008
Nelson Oyarzun 360p is trv kvlt man :)))))
Feels like..vocals don't fit with the music...
Awesome drummer!

I went to see them a week ago. Great show. The singer had a super cool attitude.

I love you guys greets from graz / austria
Gonna see them next month! Should be freakin' awesome!
And to people who think that their singer sucks, tell that to their millions of other fans.
needed over an half hour to memorize the track name after seven years, it was worth the time :)
they are amazingly beautiful and talented. God bless KoK!
Hail Metal.🔥
Vocalist reminds me of Motorhead's and Venom's vocalists combined but twice as powerful, RAAAWR! beautiful solos.
Amazing Band,great Song,Nice Video!Both Thumps up for Keep of Kalessin!
This band is a real discovery for me... Amazing!
and that's why Norway produces awesome music!!
@TropicalPurlieu are you serious? the vocals are great!
I don't care what genre it is, it just sounds good.
sick drumming
I like it...all kinds of Metal ...and this rocks...I like it when you can understand the singer..and the guitar riffs are cool too.
norewgian metal
Epic song.. LOVE the video clip.. the bat wings coming out of his back during the crescendo was mint.. Drummers smashing out 230bpm bomb blasts, and the singers taking all the cred with his bat wings on..
Saw them live yesterday. Even better than on the albums.
the beginning of this video could be the most epic hair commercial ever
They are all skilled musicians!
This band owns live, the guitarist plays all these freaky chords. Very interesting if you're a guitar player.
Seen em once. 🤘🤘They were Amazing. Would LOVE to see em again.🐉
I saw these guys back in November opening for Mayhem. I was fucking drunk. All the bar had was Pabst blue ribbon beer. Great Show! These guys are good. Mayhem was amazing!
Glad ya caught KoK. I missed them 🤬 Caught Mayhem though. Saw Kalessin open up for Sepultura though, and they HAILED. 🤘🤩🤘 Sepultura kicked it old school bad ass as well.

Have the album. Haven't heard this song in minute. This song is so epic. It would go perfect with the movie dune.

@MrBlooddrunk666 Yeah I was there too. Best helicopter headbanging of the night.
